As a young girl, I was tucked into bed many nights by my Father, who shared countless stories with my older sister and me, most involving our four-legged relatives. His stories were often about nolka (deer), awasos (bear), tmakwa (beaver), w8kwses (fox), but usually about m8lsem (wolf). At the time, I thought these stories were fables shaped by my Father’s imagination, contrived tales to assist his (sometimes harrowing!) efforts after a long day’s work to get us to sleep. I assumed that because my Father was visually impaired and unable to read traditional children’s books, he had no choice but to make up such tales. It was not until I grew older that I realized his stories held important lessons— nolka and awasos were some of the greatest sources of winter protection for my Abenaki ancestors, and m8lsem were (and are) among the most revered of our nonhuman relations. As I grew older, I came to understand that his stories were not simply constructions of his imagination. On the contrary, my Father’s stories contained important teachings and life lessons.

This style emphasized long, flowing glides at high speed with a stiff, upright body posture. It contrasted with the International style, a type of skating developed on the Continent that favored brisk limb movements and showy tricks, such as jumps and spins. English skaters saw the International style as effeminate, while their own represented their idea of masculinity and allowed them to express their national identity. After the founding of the International Skating Union in 1892, British skaters found it necessary to adopt the International style to be competitive. Women proved better able to do so than men, and Madge Syers won the gold in the 1908 Olympics. Over time, the process of transnational exchange enacted through international competition resulted in the near-disappearance of the English style.","PeriodicalId":42546,"journal":{"name":"Sport History Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41900150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commonly, transnational approaches to the historical study of sport provide opportunities to reach beyond “the nation,” whereby the nation–state is not positioned, necessarily, as the central category of analysis in discussions of cultural exchange between or across nations and borders. In such analyses, nonstate actors—essentially, those working outside of government influence—can move from the periphery to the center of focus. Challenging the dominant narrative of much historical research into globalization in sport that has tended to dwell on the negative, transnational approaches, as evidenced in this collection, offer new opportunities to consider positive, progressive, and co-operative aspects inherent to the connections and exchanges examined.","PeriodicalId":42546,"journal":{"name":"Sport History Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43832135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed narration of these events, pieced together from archival sources, allows scholars to understand the negotiations to prepare the political terrain for the event, including efforts to secure the official endorsement of the International Ice Hockey Federation for a tournament sponsored by the Government of Canada in exchange for Canada’s return to international competition in 1977; the participation of various countries and their respective hockey governing bodies, especially the Soviet Union, in an international tournament featuring professional players; and an agreement with the North American professional hockey cartels, especially the National Hockey League, to allow star players to participate in the event. The success of the 1976 Canada Cup accelerated the commodification and commercialization of hockey both in North America and globally—a process that was increasingly driven by the interests and aspirations of the National Hockey League.

The passage of time has clarified much about the betting scandal that plagued Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1989. Over the course of the six-month saga, Rose’s denials and his adversarial relationship with the Commissioner’s Office shrouded MLB’s investigation in controversy. This study explores the press coverage of the scandal in 1989 and determines that the Cincinnati press was more sympathetic to, and supportive of Rose than out-of-market coverage, represented in this investigation by The New York Times. These findings are consistent with previous research that indicates that local media favors hometown institutions during times of crisis. This study expands that theory by demonstrating that favoritism extends to individual players whose connection to the city is significant, and furthers our understanding of the media’s role in shaping the narratives of scandal.","PeriodicalId":42546,"journal":{"name":"Sport History Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44618292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to understand \"this volatile, often violent connection between black and white women of the Old South,\" she examines a wide variety of books including proslavery and abolitionist fiction of the mid-nineteenth century, slave narratives, diaries, and modern fictional versions of the Southern slave experience by Faulkner, Cather and Margaret Walker. A historian will find the greatest interest in the expositions of \"Fictional Sisterhood in a Fictional South\" of the nineteenth century, and \"Mistress and Slave Woman as Obverse Images.\" An analysis of the feminist undercurrents of Uncle Tom's Cabin, including the strength of the black-white female bond, is most convincing. Even more startling, however, is the uncovering of similar female bonding in Aunt Phillis's Cabin, a polemical proslavery pot boiler. Black women in the Old South were forced to be strong; white women were supposed to appear weak, although many clearly were not. In slave narratives and autobiographies Gwin points out that, in terms of a \"wholeness of female identity\" (respectibility and sexuality), each race had \"only half.\" The slave narratives are carefully and critically discussed, both as a means of asserting black humanity, and in terms of their remarkably forgiving attitudes towards white mistresses. The ambivalence toward black women, shown in the writings of their white mistresses, is also clear. Although there are many instances of sisterhood in times of trouble, the color barrier generally blinded white women to the humanity of the black woman who was usually perceived in stereotypical terms. It might also be worth remembering that most white women in the South were not slave holders. Did their attitudes differ from those of the upper-class women? While the analyses of the works of Faulkner, Cather, and Walker are equally interesting, they are far more problematical in terms of the thesis of this work. Cather, in Sapphira and the Slave Girl, seems to have been able to recreate the \"ambiguity of cross-racial relationships,\" but in an essentially nostalgic world in which evil does not wound. Walker, in Jubilee, writing during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, seems to regard \"black humanism\" as an answer to racism. Can the black woman's saintly forgiveness of the southern white woman's viciousness really tell us about the slave/mistress experience of the Old South? Or, is it, most likely, a reflection of the hopeful sixties? The most brilliant chapter of this book is its discussion of the relationship of Clytie and Rosa in Absalom, A bsalom!, epitomizing both the chasm and the connection between the races. Faulkner seems to have been the author who best explored the failure of human relationships","PeriodicalId":42546,"journal":{"name":"Sport History Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90838444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
